Watch: Great white shark leaps at researcher with teeth bared off US coast

August 7, 2018

A massive great white shark has been filmed leaping out of the ocean at the feet of a researcher who was trying to film it.

A video posted to Facebook yesterday to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy page shows researcher Greg Skomal standing on a platform at the end of a boat in waters off the coast of Massachusetts.

He has a GoPro camera attached to the end of a pole ready to film sharks.

However, to his surprise, a great white leaps from the water beneath him with its jaws wide in a frightening display.

"Holy crap, it dove right out of the water," the captain of the vessel can be heard yelling.

"Did you see that?" Mr Skomal responds.

The video has been viewed nearly 300,000 times since being posted to Facebook.
